I had quite a few spears break on me . What i've done to overcome is just pose all the right arms with the spear pointing upwards , it only needs a little cutting and regluing of a few wrists. I don't even alter the flow of the short sleeves on the tunic .With all of the spears facing upwards I only have to be wary of them pointing upwards rather than at all odd forward angles when forming a phalanx. The infantry sets are excellent figures and these new ones will go a long way to completing an army that has sat in limbo for about a year without light support . The WF Numidians are also very useful and parts can me mixed between the two manufacturers very easily.cheers Tom

Update

We have a few renders to show you of the plastic Peltasts, unarmored Hoplites, archers and slingers to show you.

Hoplites

The sets are nearing completion, and just need a few adjustments before heading off for tooling.

Archers and slingers

Emel, our sculptor, has done a great job. He is very good at cloth and muscle tone and does very good faces, characterful without looking cartoony. These are just a few poses he has stuck together. There are countless more variants you can make from these two sets.

Peltasts

We will update you with more news on a release date once tooling starts.

Also!

Christmas, the season of shopping, overindulging, and apparently a time of goodwill to all men is approaching fast! The Victrix three-for-two deal is running until 5th January. So you still have time to get those orders in before the big day, or to spend your Christmas money (from people who could not be bothered to put enough thought into a present for you!) afterwards. The deal is very simple. For every two boxes of plastic figures, bases, or movement trays you buy, you can receive a third equivalent product free of charge. You need to state in your comments box when ordering online what the third product should be. Or if ordering by email or telephone, just tell Julian. He can be contacted at the email below or telephone numbers 00 44 (0)1539 724415 or 00 44 (0)7990 565921. The free product is not calculated automatically by the shopping cart, hence the need to tell us in the comments box or by email.

Please note this deal does not apply to the multi-box deals, which are already heavily discounted and post-free worldwide. If you have any issues, please get in touch and we can help you out with the deal, or any other Victrix product, so you get exactly what you want this Christmas.
